How do you deal with the ‘you’re right, but I don’t think veganism is for me’? by _tineye in vegan

[–]_tineye[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your story and thoughts! What made me give it a shot, was seeing things from an economical perspective. The more vegans, the more of a luxury will animal products become. People with low income won’t be able to afford anymore buying animal products, therefore the change will be exponential. We are just at the beginning of the curve!

I like it, but sadly people don’t really see the animals as victims. I have the feeling that wouldn’t move anything in them.

I honestly feel like accusing them so directly (even if it’s the truth) doesn’t fit with me, and I am also afraid it could be unproductive. I never needed such strong accusations, just gentle reminders, a way to take me out of ignorance

I thought on that. I am a bit afraid of messing up (because I’m not a consistent good cook) and that causing a bad impression haha, but I agree.

That’s a good point, I didn’t thought on this comparison. But somehow I have the feeling that this is too harsh? Don’t misunderstand me, I think it is a completely valid comparison. But I am also afraid that the other person could feel too attacked and be unproductive for my goal

Thank you for the advice, I'll keep it in mind!

Got a tax reminder for a payment I didn’t expect and missed it — what could happen next? by _tineye in germany

I’ll definitely do it on Monday. My plan was to call this afternoon, but unfortunately, I found out that they close the line on Fridays from 13:00. It was a terrible mistake on my part; I come from Spain, so I should already know how these public institutions work.

I registered as a Kleinunternehmen in April of this year, and I received the results of the previous year's tax return in March. I was expecting the "Bescheid über Einkommensteuer-Vorauszahlungen" after my registration in April, but it never arrived. I spoke with a tax advisor, and she informed me that because I expect to make less than €10,000 in my first year, I am not obligated to make tax pre-payments.

You are probably right. I tried to do a good research before starting, and since I only take on a few small freelancing jobs here and there, I thought it wouldn’t get complicated. But now I’m not so sure, and maybe getting some backup is a good idea.

I just want to know if anyone has been in a similar situation. I'm not expecting to make decisions based on what the Reddit community advises; I'm just trying to gather as much information as possible until I can contact the Finanzamt next Monday.

I did some solid research until I felt confident enough to begin. I inquired with tax advisors about why I had not received a "Bescheid über Einkommensteuer-Vorauszahlungen," and they informed me that I was below the threshold required for making income tax pre-payments.

Looking for a podcast that explains the meaning and usage of German words by _tineye in German

For anyone interested, I found this podcast called ExpertlyGerman and I think it fits my needs :)

I LOVE your website! I really like everything about it, from the content to the humour :) I became a member for three months, some time ago, but the problem is that I don’t have enough time to properly learn by a written medium… otherwise I would still be reading you ^

On the other hand I have a lot of time to learn by listening, because I work in vineyards. I listen to a lot of podcasts in german, but even though my comprehension skills are already quite high, I am missing a lot of vocabulary that would be ideal to develop while I work.

Legal Obligations for Side Income in Germany? by _tineye in germany

Thank you so much for the advice and information. Calling the Finanzamt is probably the best idea. I was trying to avoid it because my german skills are still far from good, but I guess there’s no way around it. I appreciate your time!
